What should be verified if the spacing tolerance for trusses exceeds the specified limits?

Verifying if the spacing tolerance for trusses exceeds the specified limits involves ensuring that the truss system's design integrity and safety are maintained. If this tolerance is exceeded, the appropriate action is to review and approve the design with input from both the building designer and the truss designer. This collaborative review is crucial as both professionals can assess the implications of the modified spacing on structural stability and overall performance.

A modification in spacing can affect load distribution, stress levels, and potentially the performance of the entire structure. By involving the building and truss designers, one ensures that any adjustments made to accommodate spacing tolerances are done systematically, safely, and in accordance with relevant codes and guidelines. This also helps in identifying whether the excess spacing could be mitigated through design adjustments rather than outright replacements or recalculating load capacities without proper context.
